Ruling party seeks probe of Supreme Court chief; opposition cries foul

On October 27, the ruling Democratic Party (DP) decided to push for a parliamentary investigation into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, amid calls from some hardliners for his impeachment, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. DP floor spokesperson Jeon Eun-su told reporters Tuesday that the party's lawmakers had made the decision, according to KBS World. The main opposition People Power Party (PPP) denounced the move, with PPP floor leader criticizing it, KBS World adds. The decision follows an earlier Korea Times report on October 21 that the DP was considering such a probe amid an internal debate over impeachment.
